Why such a long time until they debut? They are already testing this year. One more full year should be enough.Quote:

Aside from the year's experience from competing in the championship it would not be the best way to spend their money. Hopefully they will see sense and make a GT-86 WRC!
I guess one reason is the Japanese corporate decision making process, which isn't the fastest as we know.Quote:
